My name is Tony Barnes of Bayonne, NJ. Just turned 40 yesterday, April 15. I started taking piaono lessons when I was about 13. In high school I learned and became pretty good on the clarinet. I was accepted to Shenandoah Conservatory of Music where I spent 2 yrs as a clarinet major, piano minor. I am classically trained, but being in the church I also learned Gospel, Pop, and R&B styles. Leaving college, I reverted back to piano and organ where my true talents lay. I started teaching piano full time in my own studio and playing for a couple of churches.
A couple of years ago, I ran across a friend who has a Korg 364 Keyboard. I fell madly in love with it instantly. Within the year I purchased my own Korg 364 (being new at this, it was the only one I knew about or actually touched). I started adding the keyboard to the church services making my own arraigements (Piano, organ, drums, saxaphone, trumpets). This weekend being Easter, the trumpets came in very handy. About a month ago I purchase my 2nd keyboard. The Korg Trinity. My next purchase will be a hard disk recorder.
As you all know buying gear can be very expensive, so I went back to work full time at Salomon Smith Barney and play/direct for 5 church choirs. Being new in using electronic instruments, this forum, Keyboard magazine and Electronic Musicians mag has taught me alot. Thanks.

Thanks for the birthday wish. I don't have the sports car, but I already have the MUCH younger women.
